A couple years ago I sent you a picture of a crispy leaf from the tree. The tree did not look too well. Your recommendation was the Eastern Red Bud tree was not acclimated to our environment and to get a Western Red
Bud tree or another tree.

After paying for the tree and having the
hole dug and planted I decided to give it another try.

A landscaper
told me later that the tree does not like our salty soils and to leach
the soil around the tree once a month.
As you know that pushes the salt
below the root line. The tree perked up after I started doing that.
Here is a picture I took this spring. Earlier in the spring the tree
was filled with pink blossoms. So that’s my success story.
